CEMMPRE participation in the Celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Department of Mechanical Engineering

As part of the celebrations of the 50th anniversary of the creation of engineering courses at the University of Coimbra (UC), the Department of Mechanical Engineering (DEM) of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC) held, on the 30th of September, a meeting to mark the date. With the motto “RoadMAP50 – Memory, Present and Perspectives”, the initiative aimed to “visit the memory of the evolution of the DEM and analyze its current situation to envision its future development”.

CEMMPRE participated in this initiative, with a brief presentation highlighting its integration into the Advanced Production and Intelligent Systems (ARISE) Associated Laboratory (AL), as well as its Research, Development, and Innovation activity, with particular emphasis on ongoing projects. At the end, Professor Marta Oliveira, made an appeal to all former members of CEMMPRE (or of CEMUC and ICEMS – centres that gave rise to CEMMPRE) to integrate a network that intends to promote future collaborations.

A group of CEMMPRE Researchers participated in the European Researchers’ Night, which this year had as its theme SCIEVER – SCIENCE FOR EVERYONE – Sustainability and Inclusion.

A game and a small exhibition were the base of this participation. In an entertaining way, the objective of the game was to show CEMMPRE activities, including GreenTRIBOS (a joint doctorate programme on Green Tribology for Sustainable Engineering), raising awareness for personal conscience on sustainability-related to mechanical engineering, materials, and processes. This game also gave visibility to the Advanced Production and Intelligent Systems (ARISE) Associated Laboratory (AL). The Robot “Pepper” was the main attraction of the small exhibition.

Inova+ Awards

INOVA+ celebrated its 25th anniversary with the launch of a national competition to award innovative projects in a scientific and business context, with the potential of an international scale, and to distinguish, through the CAREER AWARD – SCIENTIFIC EXCELLENCE, those who have remarkably careers and who, in doing so, has contributed to asserting excellence in teaching and research.

In this edition, PROFESSOR FERNANDO LOBO PEREIRA was awarded, posthumously, the personality of the year award, distinguishing and recognizing the excellence of his scientific career and the contribution that, by example, he made to society.

The communication of the results took place in a public session, on the 26th of September 2022, in the FEUP Auditorium.
